I've seen some players splashing red and using kumano as a win condition. He can take care of platinum angel, win with an ankh on the table and at worst he can be reanimated to kill welders.

Ok, here's my decklist.
4 Grim Lavamancer 3 Gorilla Shaman 2 Goblin Vandal 2 Goblin Tinkerer 1 Viashino Heretic
4 Lightning Bolt 2 Chain Lightning 3 Incinerate 3 Magma Jet 2 Fireblast
4 Price of Progress
4 Pyrostatic Pillar 3 Ankh of Mishra 3 Null Rod
1 Mox Ruby 1 Strip Mine 4 Wasteland 3 Mishra's Factory 12 Mountain
// Sideboard: SB: 3 Red Elemental Blast SB: 2 Viashino Heretic SB: 2 Rack and Ruin SB: 2 Pulverize SB: 4 Tormod's Crypt SB: 2 Pyrokinesis
Some notes: 1) I live in Italy; this means a lot of workshops, TPS & Dragon. 2) Ankh may be less strong than once was but it's never really a dead card. Moreover it's a way to slow down WDragon (i know they can combo out in my turn but finding a way to do that usually gains me some precious time; I see also a lot of GB WDragon: in this case they have to find out their lone Deed because they can't win at istant speed). 3) Pillar & Null Rod are mostly insurances against TPS, despite being strong cards on their own. 4) I pack a lot of maindeck hate against WS decks. Shamans take care of any kind of chalice. Even if Chalice for 1 hits play before shaman or vandal i have 3 maindeck ways to get out of the problem. I think you undervalue Goblin Vandal: if they have a 7/10 out they can't use it to attack you; if they attack simply crash it next turn with your vandal (they shouldn't have blockers). Viashino Heretic is slow, i know that, but it's really too powerful to leave him out. You have enough spells to survive until he gets online, and if it's online you have won. 5) I suggest you to consider magma jet as a viable burn spell because its scry ability is really strong for a deck with no manipulation. 6) I'd like to get some Fractured Loyalities in my side. I need them not mainly to deal with DC (Heretic is just fine against a DC) but against other fatties (like dragon's verant forces). 7) The deck wins against fish (the only deck i played a good number of matches against [i went 13-4]).

I prefer incinerates over chain lightnings because they are istants, and this is more relevant than the higher cc. I don't like wheel because a lot of times will help your opponent more than you. Ah, you should have 4 boas. Personally I prefer null rod over SoFI, but that is probably a meta choice; I play 3 rancor, but having you 3 sofi they're not needed. I like a lot lavamancers; try them they're really strong against lot of decks; moreover you shouldn't have problems feeding them ( 5 strips, 4 fetchlands, 8 bolts, 3 naturalizes...).
